Senior Web Application Developer

Since 1999, Polar Design (www.polardesign.com) has built hundreds of complex, custom web and mobile sites, social media apps, and products for e-commerce and social engagement. We are seeking a senior LAMP developer with solid back-end experience to join our growing team. Candidates should have at least 2 years and up to 10 years of experience.

This is a growth opportunity: we offer competitive compensation based on each candidate’s experience, the potential to participate in profit sharing or equity in startups we sponsor, and the opportunity to work of a wide range of technologies and applications. Current and past clients are as diverse as Shell, Omnicom, Prudential, Genzyme, FEMA, the Massachusetts Laborers Benefit Funds, and a number of startups like AnniesBid.com. Polar Design’s specialties include e-commerce sites with product configurators, HIPPA compliant secure portals (e.g., for Taft-Hartley funds), and Facebook applications that combine gaming and rewards.

Polar Design’s work philosophy is based around partnership. We often take a stake in our clients’ projects which means we also take more risk and earn greater rewards. Members of the Polar Design team are directly involved in the benefits, which means we rely on one other to take initiative and responsibility for their results.

This is an opportunity to extend your skills, be creative, and think out of the box, and have meaningful impact at the company. Over time, the Senior Developer may participate in strategy, product development and consult with clients at a high level. We are seeking more than an employee, but someone that wants to grow to be a valued, core member of our dynamic, energetic team – a partner and leader, as well as a developer.

Are you interested? Here’s what it takes to join our team:

Bachelor Degree from an accredited 4 year university program

At least 2 years of professional web development / programming experience in PHP, MySQL

Please send us your resume and a cover letter telling us why you want to join Polar Design and would be a good fit. If you have sample code or a portfolio, please send those along too. We will call every candidate that makes a sincere effort!
